Produce Art Collective formed in March and April 1982 inspired by the Produce Art group exhibition 10-24 March, 1982 an exhibition of 16 artists curated by artist Jeanelle Hurst.

Red Comb House was a short term artist-run in the old produce stores located in Roma Street. This artist-run was one of many spaces earmarked for demolition and available only for short-term rentals in the inner city 4000 postcode during the 1980’s.

Do you have an interest in poultry-related history, Baringo? I don't know what is at the address now. Is it where the Roma St Parklands were created? Someone with a keen interest in Brisbane history may know.

Andrew is correct on the Redcomb site As a Legbar breeder he would interested to know Redcomb had a facility in the Zillmere area where laying trials were carried out for years over many long periods [6 months or more I have been told - maybe 12 ] ,breeders - mostly professional Hatcheries entered teams of hens about 12 or more I think ,egg aggregate - quality, hens deaths were totaled up, fed on Redcomb - naturally. These trials were often won by Mr Eddie Pocock's Gold Legbars that he bred . He also bred Champion White runner ducks, I had some of his Legbars years ago,but alas they are no more.Winning the laying trials was a big feat in my opinion as he was a backyard breeder! He had a pretty big yard tho'. My information came from Mrs Jean Lindsay of Caboolture - her husband Jack owned a hatchery next to Sheepstation Creek in Morayfield Road , they were friends of ours, unfortunately both have passed away ,Jean in recent months Jack entered hens at Zillmere.too.
